Wnt Treatments Lead to Cancer?
Dr Rassman, Lately i have heard talk of the possiblity that WNT/regenerative treatments may lead to cancer. Could you please clarify this topic and offer any opinions? thank you
It seems like Wnt stimulated follicular neogenesis is hot area of biotech now (Histogen, Follica), but it is something that I do not understand enough to speak with authority. This is straight from Wikipedia, which is sourced from a July 2005 article in the scientific journal Nature: “The Wnt signaling pathway describes a complex network of proteins most well known for their roles in embryogenesis and cancer, but also involved in normal physiological processes in adult animals.”
I do not think I can clarify much more for you aside from what is stated. From the little research I’ve done, Wnt signaling has been associated with cancer in some tissues. How that relates to what they’re doing with hair, I haven’t a clue.
